Preparations are being made to get ready for a visit from several of my Grand Children. They will be spending most of the summer here on Sanibel Island, with the first one arriving on June 2, the second on June 5, the third on June 21, the fourth on July 7 along with one of my daughters and her husband. They will all leave on July 21. Around the first of July my youngest daughter may also come for a few weeks. I think it's going to be an exciting and fun time. So......

Today some grocery shopping began along with a few other things. That meant leaving the island for a while. It was a warm day, around 87 degrees, but it really didn't seem that warm because of the wind. The water looked pretty calm from the causeway. There were very few people on the spoil islands today.

This was the view of the sky from the top of the highest bridge as we left.

This is a view of the sky on the way back.

A couple of hours later, after putting groceries away etc, we made a drive back toward Spoil Island B to try to catch the sunset. This was the sky as we were going.

This is the sky, from Spoil Island B just as the sun went down.

This was just after sunset looking out over San Carlos Bay and Pine Island Sound. The end of another day.Best viewed in HD on YouTube, by clicking the screen below.

So that's it for the comings and goings, that probably caused us to miss a really good beach day. It had to be very pleasant with the beautiful clouds all around the island with a dome of bright blue sky and sunshine overhead. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.

Hello,What a beautiful piece of paradise! Thank you so much for stoppoing by, connecting to me and commenting. it seems you will be very busy in the next few weeks. I hope they will also be pleasant and joyful.

You are going to have a very busy summer! Those like pretty angry clouds...you think you'd get rain eventually. I'm not sure I could handle the wind the ocean seems to always have. Hmmmm. Hope you have a good beach day today.

About My Blog.......

I am a retired, grandmother who is living a dream in this tropical paradise, called Sanibel Island.

My blog was created to share some of the beauty I see around me each day. This tranquil place is a haven for wildlife and the natural beaches are spectacular. I will post pictures now and then, that I snap quickly with my cellphone.

Since I am on 'Island Time' and consider myself to be a 'Slacker', my posts may not be on a regular basis. But,I hope you enjoy sharing some of what I am blessed with and come back to visit often.
